4 Busy Week Will Include Weddings and Graduation June will be a busy month for the valley, for June Is not onlv the month o many weddings but it is the month of high school and college graduations and the start of vacation time for many. Weddings seem to be concentrated in the middle of the month, with several set for next week-end. This week brings both bacca laureate and graduation for Med ford senior high school, with the former set for tonight at 8 p. m. in the auditorium and gradua tion to be Thursday in the sta dium.

Past years have seen the auditorium jam-packed at graduation time, with each graduate anowea oniy a few tickets for relatives and friends because of the lack of space, i Here from New York city for a few days is Mrs. Clarence A. Meeker, who lived in Medford for several years before being named editor of The Methodist Woman, national magazine. Mrs. Meeker reports her work both interesting and enjoyable.

Mrs. Meeker recalled yester day that one of the first issues of the magazine, which now has a circulation of over 200.000. carried an artist's conception of the typical Methodist woman. This creature didn't happen to please many subscribers and Mrs. Meeker hit upon the idea of picking a typical Methodist woman for her 10th anniversary issue, selecting her from pictures submitted from ail over tne na tion. Mrs. Meeker is having i 1urv of men Dick the winner. The anniversary issue will be out in September.
